Liquid Cooling Render Gallery

i'm happy with the how the bump map looks, but the metal material isn't quite right yet...

You guys are too talented for me, but reading this thread did inspire me to finally see if I could do anything with Sketchup (I know this thread is about getting life like renders, but you gotta start somewhere). Wanted to say thanks to Mick for posting the Gentle Typhoon Fans, and to kinghong1970 for the MCR 320. I turned the 320 into a 420 (not very elegantly, but it works for what I need), and painted the GT fans red. So - here's the sketchup I did trying to model the lower compartment in the Black Pearl build I'm doing.







Thanks for the inspiration - you guys have shown what's possible. I hope you'll forgive my intrusion into your thread ... lurking mode back on ...

@ pbmax - are those Bitspower compression fittings for Sketchup available anywhere online yet? Nice job.

[emir]

Metric; i want to bump map but don't know how to do it

More quick renders of HD5870 block with some minor changes.






And here's the underside eKirts.

Forgot to add how the block looks on the card.....erm.....sort of

@ pbmax - are those Bitspower compression fittings for Sketchup available anywhere online yet? Nice job.

They are based off of Feser's compression fittings. They are not "perfect" copies but pretty close. I'll post the models soon...

Here's just one more render of them. The fittings are actually using a perfect mirror material with some fine bump maps to show the machining groves.

Also using this HDR for lighting:

Thanks emir, looks beautiful... nice job

would love to see some acrylic renders... haha :P

very nice, pbmax...
stunning....

I think focus blur some where it would complete it very nicely...imo

[emir]

emir: Those compression fittings look nice -any plans on adding a bump map to them?

Why not, how can i do it in Solidworks?


Was bored today, made some renders with my new system. But couldn't decide which one looks better; matte or shiny?

[woffen]

Matte looks more real in my eyes. Beautiful renders both though!

[Mudgey]

This is not a watercooling part, but its a render none the less!

Its a wooden carrying frame for a fruit crusher I worked on a while back, anybody like Cider? Ooharrr

This render only took approx 3 minutes to complete.

[emir]

Thanks woffen!

Sexy work emir.... looking forward to more

[emir]

Hey guys, thanks to Mudgey my compression fittings are more realistic. I've used his drawing as reference and edited mine. Thanks again mate!

[OggeOJ]

Space for jetplate and stuff.

[Alexandr0s]

My design of the Asus Ares:



Already available here, and should be available within a couple of days at scc.jezmckean.com

[emir]

Improved compression fitting;

[Metric]

Impressive work Alexandr0s and emir, you nailed the black finish on the BP fitting

Mostly just a concept design/modeling practice:

[UrbanSmooth]

My design of the Asus Ares:

Thank you, sir.

[emir]

Thanks Metric, a nice from you as always

A new block with a quick render;

[Metric]

Nice looking block there emir

I apparently forgot to add internal threads on the first render (oops)



*wonders if these would even work with cpu waterblocks...*

[Alexandr0s]

Sweet designs Emir and Metric. Metric, what exactly do you think those nozzle fittings could be used for? The GPU block? Because the CPU block already has a jetplate. Though it might add performance to the older blocks without jetplate.

[emir]

Thanks Metric & Alexandr0s. Excellent work on that nozzle fitting.

[Mudgey]

A case I am working on:

Does anybody know where I can buy 2.5 x 1.25m or (8 x 6ft) sheets of black anodised 2mm aluminium within the UK?
